Chapter 952 Eye-opening (1/2)

In ancient times, all African countries had a complete chieftain system, and the whole of

Africa was a tribal society

These large and s existed in South Africa, Caeria, Benin, Ghana, Burkina Faso, and C么te d'Ivoire

The grand chieftain was the supreme ruler of various tribal associations and had

absolute power in all things, such asover the ad sacrificial rites, adjudicating arguable cases, collecting taxes

and so on

In soovern to the size of their territory, their population, and their

economic importance

Zulu people still had many traditional customs To the present day, the chiefs were still

the speakers of the tribe In addition, the main tribe was divided intoits own chief

When the British ruled over South Africa, they had attempted to reduce the influence of

the Zulu people by forcibly abolishi+ng system of chieftain hierarchy However, that did

not help The position of chief was determined by one's birth, and the Zulu stubbornly

and firmly followed their leaders

The lion hunter explained these customs to Li Du When he heard about the chief, Li Du

asked, ”Are you the chief of your tribe?”

At this, the lion hunter laughed ”No, I am the rebel of my tribe How can I be a chief?

The chief and I are enemies”

Li Du was surprised ”Why?”

The lion hunter sed the subject

”We Zulus are polyga our Zulu tribe?”

Seeing that he avoided the question, Li Du didn't press further Set it, I think one wife is enough Having several would be too tiresoreeood to have , I could hunt lions with just a spear I spent too ht a hyena”

Hyena was an ani skills Otherwise, it would not have gained

the nareat to be able to fight hyenas

however, this was not the point Li Du did not mean physical weariness, butthe point, though, since he realized that he and

the lion hunter would never agree in this respect

Big Ivan and Lu Guan, however, were interested in the topic and started to ask

questions The lion hunter liked to talk about it as well, and shared froa African chieftains, many of whom had more than a

dozen wives In the lion hunter's tribe, their chief had twelve wives The oldest was

seventy years old, while the youngest was the sahter He had

65 children, not counting the dead, and a large family, which helped him to assert his

authority

”The one who had set the highest record in this respect was a chief of the kingdom of

Benin in ancient ti his life, man, more

than 4,000!” the lion hunter said with e Ivan's eyes almost popped out ”Man, I don't know if I have even seen four

thousand women in my life till now!”

”It was the same in the ancient Chinese ie of history

Satisfied with their attitude, the lion hunter went on, ”And after the chief's death, he

chose 400 of the youngest, most beautiful women and ordered them to drink poisoned

wine and die with hi Ivan and Lu Guan cursed together
